When I was at Burnt Oak Junior school some 34 years ago me and my class took swimming lessons here. The changing rooms were reached by subterranean tunnels, male on left female on right. I can remember sitting on the upper right spectator wing during the summer cheering the school team who were participating in an event which involved jumping into the pool wearing pyjamas over their swimming costumes and swimming to the other end whilst taking their pyjamas off at sections of the pool marked by floating coloured {Colored} booms. The wings were located upstairs where the double doors are at the sides. The building was a cinema until a new one {Now closed} opened in the high street. The extra room on the roof where the xpelair extractor {Exhaust} fan is was part of the projection room. The large, concreted section in the upper centre between the double doors used to be a window looking into the upstairs gym. The building/Facade now belongs to a dance school but to date nothing has happened on the site. They are probably waiting for the listed façade to become dangerous so they can demolish it and build something new. Since this picture was taken the building has been put up for sale for £19,000. As of 2022 the building has now been demolished and a new cinema and apartment/ Flat block is being built.
